Together move more!
On the night of the floods in 2021, when the Ahr Valley and NRW were hit by a natural disaster, the true power of solidarity was demonstrated. Numerous private helpers rushed to help on site. This unprecedented commitment gave rise to a large network that can still be felt today and continues to have an impact.
Under the umbrella of "Fortuna hilft", dedicated people have come together who are committed to their work with dedication and a lot of heart. They help those in need, alleviate hardship and light up the hearts of children. They are a living example that there is immeasurable strength in community.
"Together we can achieve more. Every contribution counts, because united we are strong and can achieve great things. Our solidarity is the key to giving hope and shaping the future."

More about Alina
In her work as an organising angel, Alina sees herself as the girl for everything. She is your and our contact for organisational matters, coordination and everything to do with finances. The values that characterise her work are reliability and helpfulness. If she doesn't have an answer, she will get you the information you need. You can rely on that! She lives in Erftstadt and the flood brought her and Fortuna hilft together. As a result, Fortuna became a matter close to Alina's heart, so that others may also experience the help that she was able to experience. She always finds her balance in the stables and her family - which also includes three adorable kittens.

More about Laura
I'm Laura and I discovered my passion for child and youth welfare at an early age. That's why I decided to study social work. When I was affected by the flood disaster myself in 2021, I realised how important it is to help others who have experienced even worse. My goal was to improve their lives. In autumn 2023, I came into contact with many children through the painting circus in Gemünd and quickly realised how valuable it is to give them wonderful experiences.
I like to offer the children moments of joy and distraction by playing, colouring and doing handicrafts. My calm nature and willingness to listen allow me to respond lovingly to the children's needs. I am grateful to be part of this dedicated team and look forward to creating unforgettable memories with the children.

More about Bianca
Bianca Ferber - Making the impossible possible - our ZuvAHRsichts and painting circus dream team Natalie and Bianca work according to this motto. The two super*angels in Bad Neuenahr Ahrweiler are both a rock in the surf and creative solution finders. It really wouldn't work without them.
They welcome everyone with open arms and an open heart, especially all two- and four-legged souls in need. With their warm and welcoming nature, they give so many people so much hope, confidence and a place of peace - an island where you can come to recharge your batteries. This makes them a very important pillar of Fortuna and my very own personal angels. So much would not be possible without them! It really is a gift that we can walk these paths with them - paths full of hope and so many possibilities. They convey a feeling of cohesion and home. Especially when I'm there, they always give me the feeling of coming home - my anchorage... And Natalie really is Bob the Builder! I have rarely seen a person who is so talented in simply everything - chapeau! The all-in-one multi-talent from Fortuna!
She always makes me laugh and always knows how to tease me a little - so that I take life a little easier again. To quote Natalie once: "Now let your restless bum sit in SILENCE for a coffee at ZuvAHRsicht!"
I can't and wouldn't want to imagine Fortuna without them. They give so much joy, love and hope and are always solution-orientated.
It is truly amazing how courageous these two are and how they stand up for others - they are a great inspiration for many.

Mehr über Sarah
In ihrer Arbeit als Kunsttherapeutin sieht Sarah sich als Begleiterin, die einen geschützen Raum bietet und Material und Impulse bereithält, um Menschen bei ihrer kreativen Entfaltung zu unterstützen. Einen besonderen Wert legt sie dabei auf das freie Gestalten ohne Bewertung und darauf, dem Prozess zu vertrauen und nicht auf ein perfektes Kunstwerk hinzuarbeiten, loszulassen und im Moment versinken zu können. Sie lebt in Bonn und das Schicksal führte sie nach Ahrweiler zum Malzirkus. Der Malzirkus ist für sie ein Herzensprojekt, sie fühlt sie sich – besonders durch ihre Familie – dem Ahrtal sehr verbunden. Ihren persönlichen Ausgleich findet sie in ihrer eigenen Kunst und im Yoga.
Meldet euch gerne zur Kunttherapie über https://www.terminland.eu/fortuna-hilft/an und kommt vorbei.

Heike Holtz – unser Engel vom Therapeutisches Reiten Eifel e. V. ist nicht mehr aus dem Fortuna*Team wegzudenken. Sie ist unter anderem nicht nur Reittherapeutin und DOSB Trainerin für Behindertensport, sondern hat ebenfalls eine Weiterbildung für Traumapädagogik. Mit ihren sechs Pferden und ihrem Bernersennenhund-Mix bringt sie traumatisierten und behinderten Kindern die Natur Stück für Stück näher. Auch fördert sie den achtsamen Umgang mit der Natur – denn die Welt braucht starke Kinder
um die Erde wieder ins Gleichgewicht zu bringen. Hier führen Heike und ihr Team die Kinder behutsam heran und fördern somit die Auseinandersetzung mit der Umwelt und sich selbst. Bei dem gesamten Prozess steht Heike den Kids immer zur Seite, denn besonders die von der Hochwasserkatastrophe betroffenen Kinder brauchen hier besonders Unterstützung. Danke liebe Heike, dass du so gut auf die Kinder aufpasst und sie in allem unterstützt. Ihr leistet so großartige Arbeit! Wir freuen uns so sehr, dich kennen gelernt zu haben und dich zu unserem Team zählen zu dürfen. Gemeinsam können wir so viel mehr bewegen.

Mein Name ist Mirijam und als Teamleiterin in der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit widme ich mich mit viel Herz der Aufgabe, unsere Arbeit und die großartigen Menschen dahinter in den sozialen Medien, der Presse und im Internet sichtbar zu machen. Dabei bereitet es mir große Freude, den richtigen Ton für die jeweiligen Projekte und Situationen zu finden, mich empathisch in verschiedene Perspektiven hineinzuversetzen und Herausforderungen kreativ zu meistern. Unverhofft entdeckte ich meine Leidenschaft für Grafikdesign, die meine Arbeit sehr bereichert und mir ermöglicht, kreative Akzente zu setzen. Es ist für mich eine Herzensangelegenheit, unsere Botschaften visuell ansprechend und authentisch zu kommunizieren.

Seite zu stehen. Aufgeben ist für sie keine Option – was man alleine nicht schafft, schafft man dann gemeinsam! So kam es, dass mittlerweile spontanes organisieren und improvisieren zu ihren Leidenschaften wurden. Was würden wir nur ohne dich machen! – Es freut uns so sehr, dass du den Weg zu uns gefunden hast. Danke für alles…
Und soll ich euch noch etwas persönliches von ihr erzählen? – Annabell hat einen Leitsatz, der sie besonders seit der Flutkatastrophe begleitet: „Wenn viele Menschen eine Kette bilden, dann können sich die Hilfesuchenden (aber auch die Helfer) daran hochziehen“. Dies verinnerlicht sie sehr und hat mittlerweile eine Kette aus Filzherzen, die ihren Leitsatz widerspiegelt. Wir sind stolz darauf, dass du Teil unserer Kette geworden bist, liebe Annabell.

Liebe Diana, mit deiner offen, herzlichen und sehr ehrlichen Art hast du uns gleich verzaubert -und ganz viele auf der Equitana gleich mit! So wurde Diana zum festen Bestandteil unseres Fortuna*Teams. Seitdem ist sie ein großer Teil unserer Stimme – und was ist seitdem alles passiert… Ganz viele produktive Gespräche, das Mustang Makeover Germany und die Equitana Open Air Mannheim… Was wohl noch alles kommt? – Bei ihr weiß man es nie, nur dass es immer etwas positives ist. Danke liebste Diana, dass du in unsere Mitte getreten bist und dich mit uns für hilfsbedürftige Menschen und Tiere einsetzt, denn gemeinsam können wir mehr bewegen.
